Motorhome Annual Checklist
Flame Structure
• Flame failure device (FFD): Check for
satisfactory operation by the following
method: after the appliance has been
checked, allow time for the thermocouple
to cool. Try to relight the appliance by
turning it on without pushing the gas
control knob in. If the appliance does not
light the FFD is working.
• Security: Check that all appliances are
securely fixed to the vehicle/ furniture and
that no ‘play’ is present. Where applicable
check that the gas pipes are properly
attached and there are no signs of leaks.
9. Water System
Before operating the water system, check the
following items visually for signs of leakage.
Fresh Water Tank/Container
Check condition. Fill tank and check for leaks.
Check external filler and filler pipe to tank.
Check venting. Check presence and
condition of filler cap.
Waste Water Tank
Check that the drain tap is clear and working
properly. Make sure that the drain hose is
present and in good condition.
Pump Filter
When applicable, remove filter, clean and
replace. Check the in-line pump for security
of fixing and condition. Check that the pump
inlets and outlets are clear and not obstructed.
Check security of fixing and condition of
delivery hose and electric cable.
System Check
Operate the pump and check all piping
for leaks. Operate all taps and shower. If a
hot water system is fitted, it can be checked
for leaks using cold water.
Please note aerated water from a tap
could be caused by a leak on the
suction side of the pump.
